Abstract

New rotational bands built on the ν\nu(h11/2)(h_{11/2}) configuration have been identified in 105^{105}Pd. Two bands built on this configuration show the characteristics of transverse wobbling: the Δ\DeltaII=1 transitions between them have a predominant E2 component and the wobbling energy decreases with increasing spin. The properties of the observed wobbling bands are in good agreement with theoretical results obtained using constrained triaxial covariant density functional theory and quantum particle rotor model calculations. This provides the first experimental evidence for transverse wobbling bands based on a one-neutron configuration, and also represents the first observation of wobbling motion in the AA\sim100 mass region.
